Window manager warning: Window 0x3400009 () sets an MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense. #v- With metacity the game starts, main screen appears for one second, then disappears and the screen remains black. The game is running, I can hear sounds when I move the mouse, I can push buttons and exit the game, but I don't see anything. I can't switch windows with alt-tab. There is no music. KWin does not say anything when I start the game. Main screen appears and does not disappear. Music plays. I can start and play the game, switching windows with alt-tab works, but when I switch to another window I can't go back. KWin says: #v+ kwin: Raising: No support kwin: Raising: Refusing #v- The game halts and music stops when I switch to another window, then when I switch back music starts playing again, but the window does not show up. I created 3 logs with --debugmsg +x11drv: http://pp.siedziba.pl/tmp/wb/wb+x11drv-metacity.log - start the game and exit http://pp.siedziba.pl/tmp/wb/wb+x11drv-kwin.log - as above, with kwin http://pp.siedziba.pl/tmp/wb/wb+x11drv-kwin-switching_windows.log - start the game and switch windows 2 times I don't understand much from these logs, but maybe you or someone else can spot a problem. One thing I noticed, is that with metacity the game does not draw anything, which is indicated by the lack of "fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_WaitForVerticalBlank" messages. I rerun the test with +bitblt to make sure. I guess the game thinks its window is inactive. -- Piotr Pawłow mailto:[email protected]
